Hope they've made it through and are oriented properly too! Anyways, I just wanted to know what this was originally painted to be. Thanks!

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/02/2018 7:27 pm Yeah good question, but I'm not sure that we will ever know. Back in the old days, I worked in a restaurant/bar where the owner would feed the jukebox with his own quarters occasionally. This was to stimulate the patrons into feeding in their own quarters. Anyway, he painted them with nail polish so that it was easy for him to figure out how much he was contributing vs. making money.
